Things to remember

I tend to keep too many windows open on the computer.  I used to place them in folders, but those tend to get lost, too.  Here is a list of what i currently have open, so i can shut these things:

Vegetable gardener - a post about cold frames.
Natural News - Ron Paul's farewell speech and warnings
Green Med Info - Info about radiating food
Deliciously Organic - GF recipes (desserts, graham crackers)
Skinny Ms - more GF dessert recipes
Whole New Mom - MORE dessert recipes
Say What You Need to SayNo-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Coconut Oatmeal Squares
WikiHow - exercises to strengthen ankles
Spark People - exercises for strengthening abs, fighting low back pain
Only Natural Pet - online options for healthy food for our cats
Acorn Buds Yarns - Cute knitted cat pattern
Good Earth Farms - a WI farmer with healthy meat for Duane (if i can't find something closer)
Weston A. Price Foundation - an article on treating childhood (and adult?) illness traditionally

I'm definitely seeing a pattern here.  These things tend to show some of what has been on my mind recently.

I can justify my many dessert recipes by saying the holidays are coming and i'm looking for alternatives.  (The no-bake cho recipe writer is delusional thinking that Smart Balance is a good choice, but this can be made into a "healthy" dessert with some adjustments.)  What this tells me is that i'm thinking about sweet too much.  

The exercises are to regain losses i've had with the broken foot.  


The Four Agreements - Don Miguel Ruiz's Code For Life


Agreement 1

Be impeccable with your word - Speak with integrity.  Say only what you mean.  Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others.  Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.


Agreement 2

Don't take anything personally - Nothing others do is because of you.  What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream.  When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.


Agreement 3

Don't make assumptions - Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want.  Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama.  With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.


Agreement 4

Always do your best - Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick.  Under any circumstance, simply do your best and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
